I’m Nichole Wojtanowski, a strengths-based licensed therapist who provides gender-affirming, LGBTQIA-affirming care to adults across the life span.
I offer flexible telehealth and values-centered work that focuses on your strengths and what matters most to you.
First session
Your first session will include a thorough review of your personal, medical, and mental health history so I can understand the full context of what’s going on. You will find a warm, inviting space where I get to know you as a person and learn your immediate concerns and goals. We will clarify confidentiality and logistics, discuss what you hope to change, and begin a collaborative plan for next steps. You will leave with a clear sense of the treatment approach we’ll use and one or two practical actions to try before the next session.
Strengths
I offer a strengths-based, warm, and accepting therapy that is affirming and honors each person’s lived experience, and I tailor my approach to what actually works for you. I blend ACT, CBT, Solutions Focused and Strengths Based approaches, into collaborative, values-driven work that focuses on practical, measurable steps to reduce anxiety and depression, increase psychological flexibility, and build lasting self-esteem and confidence
Ideal clients
I work with adults and older adults who want practical, evidence-based help for anxiety, depression, bipolar spectrum conditions, and low self-esteem, offering gender-affirming, LGBTQIA-affirming care. I combine ACT and CBT to teach skills, set values-driven goals, and support steady, confidence-building change through warm, strengths-based collaboration. I have extensive experience working with adults and the elder population and enjoy working in this area.
Treatment methods
Acceptance and commitment (ACT)
I use Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help clients build a meaningful life guided by their values while reducing the struggle with painful thoughts and feelings. ACT is action-focused rather than symptom-first, teaching practical skills for living fully even when discomfort is present.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify and change unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors that maintain distress, replacing them with realistic, adaptive strategies that improve mood and functioning.
